A family of four was holidaying on Montesilvano beach in the
province of Pescara and the kids “started to dig a hole in
the sand." They found a package, but it’s doubtful that it
was buried there by pirates!

The "large, heavy" bag they uncovered between a road and
rows of deckchairs contained what turned out to be "at least
2.5 kilos" of cannabis, according to police.

The boys, intrigued by the package, but unaware of the contents,
showed their finding to their parents, who alerted the beach
authorities, local media said. The lido’s manager then called the
police.

In an attempt to catch the owners of the marijuana, police kept
watch over the area, but no one came to claim the bag of pot.
